We've all been there: inadvertently sent a text then immediately regretted it. 

Now you can rewind time (sort of) with Viber's latest update: the ability to delete messages once they've been sent.

Social superpowers?

Viber now lets you remotely obliterate any message you've sent on the recipient's phone. The feature works whether the message has been opened or not.

The update also works for messages sent to groups.

Face saver

Whether a message has been sent in the heat of the moment, after too many drinks, or just containing a typo, Viber's latest feature has the potential to save a lot of red faces across personal and business relationships.

No word yet on whether Tinder is working on a similar service.
